Lovely spacious site for our camper.

Showers great value at just $1, cheapest so far. Facilities were kept spotless and the WiFi wasn’t bad at all.Close enough to the village but not so close that you would be troubled with noise. Staff ( Craig) was friendly and helpful, happy to recommend.

Nice spot close to everything - you can walk to multiple restaurants and the pools.

Service was very very good and the owner went out of his way multiple times to make our stay enjoyable. Showers are 50c for 6 mins. Bathrooms are average, nothing special but everything seemed clean enough. We were late to check out and owner didn’t mind at all, very friendly. It is new ownership since the previous bad reviews. Bonus - very cute dogs! And you can arrange to bring your dog to the campsite if you check in advance with the owner.

For me this was a quite shocking experience after travelling already through New Zealand for three months.

While arriving at the campsite we were doubting if it was suitable for us and if there was something to do for our 4 year old daughter and if there is a place in the shade. What we sometimes do is drive on the campsite and have a look around and then afterwards go or register at the reception. We decided to go but before we could drive off my daughter got ill and vomited. I just went out of the campervan to get Some water to clean her, and a truck came with high speed to us, hit the breakes a meter and stopped a meter next to me and started shouting to me and beïng aggressive and intimidating to me that we had to leave right away.

Ok, his point of view is probably that we cant drive on the campsite like that and we didnt follow the ‘Rules.’ ok. In my point of view there is never any excuse to behave like that and for sure it was disproportional. And that to a woman with a vomiting child. Maybe hé doesnt know how aggressive hé came accross to me.

When i said we were planning to go or register hé said hé didnt believe us… i don’t know how often it happens that people camp on a campsite illegally, that is of course very sad. But to immediately assume people are doing wrong, seems difficult to me to run a business like that.

$40 for 2 adults on a non-powered site.

3 year old went free.

Really friendly guy at reception .

The sites are a decent enough size on grass and with vegitation and trees inbetween to give some screening.

The facalities are old but kept clean.

The showers were $0.50 but we never needed them as we went to the hotsprings in the late afternoon (within easy walking distance)

Really nice childrens playground next door and a outdoor fitness circuit as well.

A nice well kept campsite with friendly owners.

$46 for a non powered site, clean bathrooms and kitchen. $0.50 for a nice 6 minute hot shower but can put 2 $0.50 coins in at the start to have 12 minutes. Very quiet and only 10 minutes to walk into town - highly recommend the stonegrill at Saints restaurant down the road!

Don't expect this site to honour your Kiwi Holiday Parks discount card.

I was told they have left the organisation and no longer accept it. Although they are in the 2019 Brochure which offers the discount.

Lovely hosts though, new owners who are trying to improve the reputation of the site. It certainly is a nice place to stay. Great location, well laid out, clean and well tended. $30 p.n for one with power.

Why would you? Perfect for visiting Hanmer Springs; great hosts, clean, tidy and well serviced.

Why wouldn't you? You're giving Hanmer Springs a miss; you're expecting a 15% discount with your Kiwi HP card.

Mark-downs? Bit of a cheek to use the brochure to make an offer but then withdraw it when people arrive. They should in all decency have waited out the current brochure.

Return? Yes I would return.

Lovely location, average camping area, the kitchen was ok but old.

Very rude lady that owns the campground. We were drying the last of the dishes before leaving at about 10.05am and she barged us out the kitchen with the hoover, was passive aggressive and wouldn't give refunds for the following night we had already paid for. will not be staying again!!!

Lovely campsite.

Spacious sites. Very friendly at check in. Have to pay for showers but only 50 cents for 7 minutes, turned off shower well before that. Very clean. Great for walking to village. Only stayed one night as had previously checked in at the top 10. Wished I found this little gem first!
